Notably, On July 18, Dr Mohan Bhagwat visited Varanasi. He was on a five days visit. During these five days, Sarsanghchalak Dr Bhagwat also traveled to nearby districts like Mirzapur and Ghazipur and interacted with sanyasis and engaged in dialogues to uplift society.
He also participated in the Temple Expo and inaugurated the event.
Dr Mohan Bhagwat on July 22, 2023, while addressing the representatives of temples from all over the country at the International Temples Convention and Expo 2023 that was held in Varanasi, said, “Hindu temples play an important role in awakening and nurturing faith and devotion. We must empower even the smallest temples in Bharat. Many temples are under the government’s control, and we should think about how to integrate them. Temple connectivity is already happening, and the next step is to survey all the temples. If the faith and the religion itself do not exist, how will things function?”
Dr Bhagwat had also praised the transformed appearance of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. He said that the presence of Bhagwan Ram exists in every particle, and therefore, society’s unity and message will emanate from the temples. Dr Bhagwat emphasised the need for temples that care about every section of society and every individual’s concerns. He urged people to make plans and connect with everyone.
